What Happened
Al Hazem is set to face Al Ittihad on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at Al-Rass Stadium in a postponed fixture from round 10 of the Saudi Pro League. Al Hazem enters the match after suffering a significant 4-0 defeat against Al Nassr, marking their only victory in the last five matches. Meanwhile, Al Ittihad, the defending champions, are looking to improve their position in the league after a recent draw against Al Hilal.
Why It Matters
This match is critical for both teams as they navigate their respective challenges in the league. Al Ittihad currently sits sixth in the standings with 38 points and aims to climb higher in the title race. Conversely, Al Hazem, while comfortably mid-table, has only three victories in their last ten league games and must address their defensive issues to avoid potential relegation threats.
What’s Next
Kick-off is scheduled for 10:00 PM Mecca time, and the match will be broadcast live on Thamanya Sports, the exclusive rights holder for the Saudi league in the Arab region. As both teams prepare for this crucial encounter, Al Ittihad is expected to be the favorite, although a low-scoring match is anticipated due to their recent lack of fluency on the field.
